Domestic satellite, launched from the "East", sent the first pictures
"Aist-2D" contacted and transmitted the first photos from space
At the same time, the SamSat-218D satellite sends only an intermittent signal, not allowing the student team to start working with it normally, another satellite, the Aist-2D, was contacted. This spacecraft began the transfer of images taken in space, write RIA Novosti.

“On the eleventh of May, the first switching on of the Aurora target equipment was carried out and the first image of the earth's surface was taken. The system of receiving and converting information of the target equipment and high-speed radio link for transmitting information to the Earth function normally, ”the press service of the RCC Progress, where the satellite was made, reports.
Flight tests of this small spacecraft continue. It itself was developed for the purpose of remote sensing of the Earth, a number of scientific instruments developed by scientists from Samara are located on board the satellite. Optical system "Aurora" provides a resolution of up to 1.5 meters. This is not too much when compared with some other devices, but the satellite itself is inexpensive and light, so the result is quite decent. Plus, there is a radar onboard the system, developed at the Volga National University of Telecommunications and Informatics (PGUT). This satellite allows you to "see" even that which is underground, up to 10 meters.
“... the depth of penetration beneath the Earth’s surface is significantly greater than that of the existing radars in orbit today, and depends on soil moisture and structure,” says Oleg Goryachkin, head of the department of theoretical foundations of radio engineering and communications at PGUTI
“Analysis of the telemetric information received from the AIK-2D ICA shows that the motion control system, the thermal control system, the power supply system are operating normally, there are no comments on their work,” the project team reported.
As for the SamSat-218D satellite, the reason for the silence of the device (it transmits only fragmentary signals) may be an unopened antenna.
